Brad Friedel’s epic career will continue for at least one more season.

The American goalkeeper, whose record string of English Premier League starts ended in October, has signed a new contract with Tottenham Hotspur that will keep him at the London club until the summer of 2014. Friedel will be 42 years old next season.

“Very happy about the new contract! As I have always said I'm very happy here and will help Spurs in any role,” he wrote on Twitter.

That role changed somewhat this fall. Spurs’ summer acquisition of French international Hugo Lloris means Friedel will face tough competition for the starting role.

The Ohio native’s record streak of 310 consecutive EPL starts, which dated back to 2004, finally ended Oct. 7 when Lloris made his league debut against Aston Villa. The 25-year-old Frenchman had started seven consecutive EPL matches heading into Wednesday’s rematch with Villa, Friedel’s former club.

Friedel played in Denmark, Turkey and in MLS with the Columbus Crew before heading to England in 1997. He spent three seasons at Liverpool and then moved on to Blackburn Rovers, Villa and Spurs. The last of his 82 appearances with the U.S. national team came back in ’04.
